Curry At Kashimirカシミールのカレー(Japanese follows. / 日本語は以下へ続く。)I heard there's a good Indian/Pakistan curry place called "Kashimir" in Shinminato city, Toyama, and I became more interested in the place when I heard the appearance of the place.The restaurant looks like a shanty and it's easily missed when you first head there.I visited there today with my parents and my dad missed the place, too.There's a sign but if you're driving, it might be hard to find it as it's not located on the ground so that difficult to see it.It's spelled "Pakisutani Restaurant Kashimir," and I started wondering why it's Pakisutani like ronaji but didn't ask.Maybe next time...

To me, the appearance wasn't like barn but like an office of secondhand cars as the parking lot is vast and it's not paved but just small rocks.When it rains, the parking lot get muddy they say.

We got there around 6:30 PM, and there're 2 customers who seemed regulars of the restaurant.

There're maybe 15 tables and 2 ACs on the wall across the wall.Inside, it's very clean looked bright.The chairs were incredibly heavy somehow.Menu had 3-4 pages and curry had 2 pages; one for meat and the other for vegetables.I chose saag (spinach) with mutton and plain naan asked to make the curry a little bit spicier.You can choose the spiciness from sweet, normal (which is a bit spicy-hot), spicier and very spicy.Soon salad was brought to share with 3 of us.We didn't order salad, so I guess it's a part of the meal.

When we finished the salad, our plates were brought.(I only took photos of mine.)Saag Curry with MuttonIt's slightly spicy as I asked them to make it a little bit spicier, so I should ask for very spicy next time.It's not only spicy (a bit spicier), but also I tasted a lot of spices in it.

In the pot, there're a bunch of chopped spinach and the color was not all green but brown curry with green color.To my surprise, there're tons of pieces of mutton.Wherever I had this type of curry, usually there're only a couple of small chunks, so it's like mutton with saag curry, like the meat was the main part of this dish.

Plain Naan (one for me, one for my mom)It's very large, hot and fluffy.

The largest part was bigger than my hand, so I assume the widest width was about 25cm (9.8 inch) and the length was 30cm (12 inch).

The dough itself had sweet flavor and was chewy, the bottom was crispy and the surface was shiny.I loved this naan as it was, and of course it went so good with the curry.After that, they served service drinks of the choice of mango juice or chai.ChaiIt's sweet milk tea with subtle spices.I thought it'd had very strong ginger and cinnamon flavor but it was almost regular sweet milk tea.When I drank, it left a bit of tang from ginger.

My dad had mango juice and it's very thick as if it's mango 100% puree.Some said that the staffs weren't fluent in Japanese but the staff who took care of us had no trouble understanding my Japanese with normal speed.They also offered a doggy bag for the curry I couldn't finish. (yay!)Saag curry with mutton: 800 JPY (tax incl.)Plain naan: 200 JPY (tax inlc.)Kashimir / カシミール752-1, Okitsukahara, Shin'minato-city, Toyama富山県新湊市沖塚原752-1* Depends on the webpage, it says "Imizu city."* 地図サイトによっては「射水市」となっている場合あり。Open11:00 AM ~ 3:00 PM, 5:00 PM ~ 10:00 PM
